I'd gotten into this game a year after the demo first released and it'd been one of my most cherished experiences with media ever, and I'm super duper emotional right now as I'm about to play the prologue. You guys have worked so hard on this over the years and every second spent playing these games just reverberates all of the love imbued within them <33
Ahhh thank you for the extremely kind words, it always makes us happy to hear when people can feel the care put into the game (TT) We hope the prologue was an enjoyable time ♥
I started the official prologue and I'm in love so far! There was a lot of improvements from the legacy demo :D I'm excited for the official full game release!
Goddd I'm so glad to hear from this game again... :] I'd first played the legacy demo over two years ago now, and like a month ago I remembered about this game and replayed it, all happy to see we were getting so close :]
I was a bit scared when I read about this prologue being very different from the demo, since I was very fond of everything about the demo, but I ended up enjoying the prologue a lot<3 At first I couldn't help but notice all the differences, yeah, but soon enough I was just "yeah this is different but it slays too" :] I think the only thing I'll keep missing a bit is the old UI because I think its softer look blended in more nicely with the rest imo, but this new UI is good too:] And I like how the dialogue's color is just slightly more intense than the narration, it subtly makes it a lot easier to read to me:]
Anyway that was poggers and I'm really excited for when the game comes out !!!
Ah that's so nice! It's great to hear you enjoyed it despite the differences. We're hoping the final version strikes the balance between both just right for everyone, but we'll see. Thank you for the super kind words!
been here since the first demo after finding about it through sunny side up's hiatus,,,, i can't wait for the full release! amazing art, characters and music!!!!
I honestly loved the concept of the first demo of the game, it seemed more soft, calming, and bubbly, and the way everything looked made it so much better, but I appreciate the new development of the characters I would just die for this to be an anime 😭😭❤❤
Can someone pls tell me if B is a girl or a boy? Because there are moments where certain characters refer to the other characters as kun or san and she or he, including B. I also saw him wearing a skirt??? Can someone explain that to me? Was there a particular reason he wore a skirt or is it because he's actually a girl??? Because I thought he was a boy. Team Robo pls answer my question because I'm questioning my life at this point 😭😭 Also who is the new girl with this tracksuit is she actually supposed to B but her name is Eri instead I'm sooo confused pls clarify this for me
a quick question, is the final version of the full games design gonna be the same as the prologue design? between the demo and the prologue, which mechanics and art styles are gonna be on the final game?
Good question! The regular sprite style will basically be like the demo but fully updated and redone. Essentially a mix of the two! As for CGs and backgrounds, those are close to the prologue, but a lot more detailed and fully fleshed out — what you'd expect from the demo.
Mechanically, you can expect the narration and dialogue styles to be just like the prologue, but there are a lot more interactive elements that carry over from the demo when you're playing as B.
You'll get a better picture of how everything will look in upcoming promo material we have planned, so please keep an eye out for it!
Hey, it's finally here! And faster than I expected (30 minutes later?) I have worked my way through the prologue.
To first talk about the prologue itself, I enjoyed it! It wasn't anything crazy, although I'd be more impressed if it was given its short run time. What stood out to me the most was, as before, the lovely art and the mellow soundtrack. I especially appreciate just how much time was spent with no backing track, which is an entire vibe of its own. I enjoyed the character dialogue quite a bit as well.
The story was fine. It's fun to see these characters again after the year and a half since I played the initial demo, and I also appreciate that Eri was very much her own character and that ultimately the short story was focused on her. I'd have liked to actually see snippets of the events at the end resolving rather than just having the remaining threads quickly glossed over, but hey, it serves its purpose fine as a demo product. Also, very interesting attention to detail to also have the yen counter adjust accordingly to the state of the story.
But yeah, it was cool. Thanks for putting out this entirely unique short visual novel! I also appreciate that you've left the original legacy demo available for download, because even if it won't be indicative of the finished product I do think that it has some good content in there for what it is.
Speaking honestly, if I had to pick between the legacy demo and the new demo for getting somebody excited about the game's full release I'd probably have to tell them to play both the legacy demo. Not because I think the systems or writing are superior necessarily, but I do think that the story that you get there is more interesting. There's just more meat.
Super excited for the game's full release and wishing y'all the best! I had today's date marked on my calendar for a while and was bummed to see the delay, but I'm glad you were able to drop a solid demo.
We're happy to hear you enjoyed the prologue! And we really appreciate your detailed feedback, it's honestly really great to hear in preparation for the full game next month.
Your points are totally valid! In making this, we set out to make a light and simple self-contained story (an appetizer?) to serve as a better look into what the new writing style/UI are like, and to have a little bit of fun with the Occult Club in a setting detached from the main story. With that said, there are little callbacks between the two that will hopefully serve as a nice bonus for having read it!
We can't make any promises, but we sincerely hope the full version doesn't disappoint. We're super glad to have your support~! 🥰
I really really love this game idea - and mention art is so good and atmospherical, feeling this all creates together is so awesomely pecuilar. I feel so lucky to have come across this!!
I have a few questions I'd like to ask:
1. I can't gather from the comments whether the final version will be costing money or not and what range of money it is. Is there any info on that right now?
2. I read you plan on maybe doing translations - do you have any ideas on the process it might bring? I would love to help localise the game for my native language speakers or at least to advocate for it! Or is that asking too far ahead?
We are certainly planning on translations, though how many languages we'll be handling isn't at all certain. The only thing we know for sure is it won't be an easy job! What might your native language be, if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you so much, we're so glad you enjoyed what you played through! 💕
No problem! We haven't received any offers for a Ukrainian translation, so if you end up liking the game, we'd be happy to talk more about helping with a potential translation! ^^
This game is absolutely stunning. Everything of it is perfect. I love the music, the art, the story, the scenarios, the ambience... You did an outstanding job! <3
I love this game so much, the story is told so beautifully, the music is so lovely and the art is stunning aswell. I'm so excited to see the finished product!!!! :DDDD
i absolutely love the game but I do have a couple question abt story stuff or whatever so the first thing is, although this game is finding yourself and making connections and bonds emphasis on that last part btw but ehem (insert smooth Segway into question) will there be any romantic implications between any characters or is it purely platonic? ik characters like c are a no go zone when it comes to that kind of thing but what about characters like mori and N?
uhm another question i have story wise, dw this is the last one will there be multiple endings? or is it completely linear? and how much of an impact will the player make on the story?
sorry im just i find the second and third questions important but the first one just came from a place of curiosity and a completionnist stuff
Hello, we're so glad you enjoyed the demo! As for your questions:
1. Other than some random romantic relationships in the background here and there, generally all the bonds in the game are intended to be portrayed as platonic. That's not to say we're against shipping though! (Within limits sdfjkkg)
2. The game will indeed have different routes/endings! 2 separate routes and 4 endings to be exact. The routes are affected by your actions, but not in the usual sense where it relies on choices per se. That's all we'll say for now to avoid spoilers!
okay! thanks if this game ever gets like superrr popular to the point of having a hudge dedicated fanbase and all that jazz i wont be suprised if almost everyone was shipped with b cuz at least through my eyes alot of players see b ass like the player asnd stuff
i love everything about this game! i know it'll be changed later on but the story and characters are so interesting! i am obsessed with A's style she is just so pretty!! the artwork for this game is amazing! my favorite scene was the forest everything was just so gorgeous! the amount of detail in this game is insane and i cannot wait for the full release!!
Super duper stoked for this game!! The visual style and vibe is stunning... Take your time to polish the game and set a reasonable price for all the hard work u've put down, I will happyily pay u a lot to play this, it's gonna be a quality game for sure! :)
been a fan since the 2nd demo and yet i have still forgotten to write a comment or review. damm.
anyway this game is amazing, a little sad that several of the plotlines are going to be dropped, mainly the "C runs away" one, but do what you need to do. hyped for the final game.
(sorry is this is hard to read, spanish is my first language!)
Ahh thank you so much! We hope that the mixture of new and old (but mostly new) plotlines will be worth the hype ♥ (and not at all, your english is great!)
Hello, sorry for the late response! Saving can be found in the notebook, which will appear in the top right if you hover your mouse there. We get this question a lot and will make it a lot clearer in the full version!
waaa has it really been two years since I first played through this?! I am so happy to see that the full version is coming out in june!! I can't wait to play through it and I am very excited for more of the story!!
Ahhh we're so glad to hear that, thank you!! 🥺 We hope that despite all the changes made throughout the years, the story will still be an enjoyable experience!
I forgot abt this game is so slay. The uhhhh the. The it would be silly if there is was when released translation resources so I could translate it into chinese for my frens (they dont speak english :0). Looking forwart to when the game releases!!!! (ITs the the day after birthday!!!!! slay.)
Helloooo! I downloaded the demo about 2 years ago now but I really just wanted to say it was extremely beautiful and already so put together. I'm excited to see the final product and hope you do more in the future
We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed it, even through translation! Naturally, we're very keen on having a Japanese version available at some point. Thank you 💗
That sounds great! There have been other offers for help with Chinese translations, but we will keep you in mind when we've hit that step, for sure. Thank you! ^^
Truthfully, I have never played a game where the mere art style itself made me feel melancholic until I played this game in 2021 I know it's just the demo, but in an odd way, something about a simple group of outcasts figuring things out in their life hits home There is no pressure here, but I am excited for the full release And even if the full release won't be out (I mean hopefully not), the demo itself will forever lives in my head
Thank you so much for your kind words! As much as we emphasize that the full game will be very different from the demo, it still means a lot to us that it can still hold a lot of meaning to the readers here (T T) We hope the full version lives up to expectations!
What a rollercoaster that was, I had no idea what was coming next and it kept me on my toes. Can't wait to see what the final version is like, definitely looking forward to more of B's story.
I absolutely loved this game, the art was very pleasing and soft and the characters are really pretty too! You're doing an amazing job, i'm excited for the full release!! Will the full release cost money tho?
This was just a.. Beautiful game. The art was amazing and the the music and story, and everything.. Just went together so well and it really was an amazing demo and had so much meaning in just that story so far. Cannot wait for the full release, this really was such a great game and I had so much fun playing it. Good luck on the project!
Thank you so much for playing and recording your experience with the demo; we're so happy that you enjoyed it! With all the changes we've made since, we truly hope the full version will all come together as you feel the demo did ^^
Hi, I apologize for being a dummy but I kinda don't understand how Kickstarter works... am I not able to back the project after the said period ends? I would love to support the project somehow and if I'm being honest, I also wanna get my hands on the wallpapers cause I love the art style and characters so much lol.
Hello, sorry for the late reply! Yes, the Kickstarter only lasted for a short amount of time, so backing's closed and so are the rewards, but we'll see what we do in the future in terms of merch and such. We really appreciate your support!
Hello, i realy liked your game?and now I am loking forwar to its full release. Today i published an article on one of the sites, it is in Russian, but i will be glad if you rate it.
Wow, thank you for the article! It was great to read even through google translate, and we'll look out for any further articles you publish about the game! We're so glad you liked it and we hope you enjoy the full version as well 💕
I love it! just wondering, sorry if i am not well read or you get asked a lot, but will the full version cost money? I totally get if it does im just a little poor haha silly but i might buy it if im feeling quirky or whatevah
Thank you so much! Yes, the full version will cost about 8USD? 11CAD? We'll see. Also, yes, voice actors would be amazing, but that'd be a long way away.
Oh no, we're sorry to hear that... Yes, there's a save feature in the notebook, which becomes available at some points of the demo. We get asked this a lot, so we definitely recognize it's a problem of design that we'll certainly address!
ah thanks alot, i played the whole thing and it is so beautiful. i love all of the characters, their stories, the dialogue, the artwork and many more. keep it up! :D
Noooo not the Great Success Ramen! If it's any consolation, the food and money doesn't have much of a purpose in the demo, and the inventory system will probably see a big overhaul in the final version. We'll do our best to iron out these issues then. Again, sorry for the loss ;_; (and thank you for reporting!)
I can't wait to see how far this will go! This game has been great so far: plot, art, script, hooking the audience aspect- You got it all great! Sorry for the caps, I was panicking since B was at reaaally low hunger levels.
I’ve been putting off playing the demo because I didn’t want the anticipation for the final game’s release to kill me. But oh my god I should have played this when I first downloaded it two years ago. What immediately drew me in was the art, the style is so whimsical and gorgeously perfect for the slice of life genre. I was then hooked by the quirky introduction to the main cast, which I immediately fell in love with and would continue to fall further in love with as the story progressed. All of the characters have their own charm, are each lovable in their own way, and feel like living breathing people. I felt myself relating to B a lot and began cheering them on as I progressed in the game. By the end of the demo, I was honestly not expecting to cry, but that last conversation with B and C really got me. This game was such an experience to play and I will wait patiently for the final game release. Amazing work, I can’t wait to see where their story ends.
Thank you so so much for your very kind words! You have no idea how much that means to us. While we've made some significant shifts in both the story-telling and art in the final release, we hope that regardless of the changes you will enjoy the full story when it's out! ♥♥♥
amazing game! I love the visuals and the story, there are some bugs which I'm not sure if its just for me, when I got to the part where Hikaru gives you a gift, I had full inventory and so I had to toss some items, but when I clicked toss it didn't toss for me, I kept reopening the game and it was still the same, so I had to start from the beginning. Aside from that, there weren't any problems, the story is great and I will download the full release as soon as its out
Thank you so much, we're so happy you liked the demo and are willing to support the full release ❤ And we apologize about the bugs, other people have commented about separate problems before and we'll definitely make sure to iron out all the issues in the final product ^^

I started the official prologue and I'm in love so far! There was a lot of improvements from the legacy demo :D I'm excited for the official full game release!

been here since the first demo after finding about it through sunny side up's hiatus,,,, i can't wait for the full release! amazing art, characters and music!!!!
I honestly loved the concept of the first demo of the game, it seemed more soft, calming, and bubbly, and the way everything looked made it so much better, but I appreciate the new development of the characters I would just die for this to be an anime 😭😭❤❤
It always warms my (nonagon's) heart seeing people enjoy both Sunny Side Up and TWBD 🥺 Thank you very much for the kind words!!

B's a girl, referred to as 'she' in the story desc above
i haven't played the prologue yet but i'm pretty sure eri's a new character just for the prologue, she's not B haha
a quick question, is the final version of the full games design gonna be the same as the prologue design? between the demo and the prologue, which mechanics and art styles are gonna be on the final game?

We're happy to hear you enjoyed the prologue! And we really appreciate your detailed feedback, it's honestly really great to hear in preparation for the full game next month.
Your points are totally valid!

We can't make any promises, but we sincerely hope the full version doesn't disappoint. We're super glad to have your support~! 🥰
I really really love this game idea - and mention art is so good and atmospherical, feeling this all creates together is so awesomely pecuilar. I feel so lucky to have come across this!!
I have a few questions I'd like to ask:
1. I can't gather from the comments whether the final version will be costing money or not and what range of money it is. Is there any info on that right now?

Thanks for your time if you answer beforehand :)
Hello!
Yes, the final version will range around $8 US.
We are certainly planning on translations, though how many languages we'll be handling isn't at all certain. The only thing we know for sure is it won't be an easy job! What might your native language be, if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you so much, we're so glad you enjoyed what you played through! 💕
Thank you for taking time to answer!! Language I was talking about is Ukrainian :>
No problem! We haven't received any offers for a Ukrainian translation, so if you end up liking the game, we'd be happy to talk more about helping with a potential translation! ^^
This game is absolutely stunning. Everything of it is perfect. I love the music, the art, the story, the scenarios, the ambience... You did an outstanding job! <3
Hhh thank you so much for your kind words!! Comments like these truly keep us going <'33
I love this game so much, the story is told so beautifully, the music is so lovely and the art is stunning aswell. I'm so excited to see the finished product!!!! :DDDD
TT Thank you so much!! We hope it doesn't disappoint!
i absolutely love the game but I do have a couple question abt story stuff or whatever so the first thing is, although this game is finding yourself and making connections and bonds emphasis on that last part btw but ehem (insert smooth Segway into question) will there be any romantic implications between any characters or is it purely platonic? ik characters like c are a no go zone when it comes to that kind of thing but what about characters like mori and N?
uhm another question i have story wise, dw this is the last one will there be multiple endings? or is it completely linear? and how much of an impact will the player make on the story?
sorry im just i find the second and third questions important but the first one just came from a place of curiosity and a completionnist stuff
Hello, we're so glad you enjoyed the demo! As for your questions:
1. Other than some random romantic relationships in the background here and there, generally all the bonds in the game are intended to be portrayed as platonic. That's not to say we're against shipping though! (Within limits sdfjkkg)
2. The game will indeed have different routes/endings! 2 separate routes and 4 endings to be exact. The routes are affected by your actions, but not in the usual sense where it relies on choices per se. That's all we'll say for now to avoid spoilers!
okay! thanks if this game ever gets like superrr popular to the point of having a hudge dedicated fanbase and all that jazz i wont be suprised if almost everyone was shipped with b cuz at least through my eyes alot of players see b ass like the player asnd stuff
i love everything about this game! i know it'll be changed later on but the story and characters are so interesting! i am obsessed with A's style she is just so pretty!! the artwork for this game is amazing! my favorite scene was the forest everything was just so gorgeous! the amount of detail in this game is insane and i cannot wait for the full release!!
Aaaa thank you so much! We sincerely hope you'll enjoy the full version. Can't wait to hear what you think~ (*^▽^*)
The art in this game is really pretty :D and I absolutely love how the background and colors look
So kind of you; thank you so much! 💕
discord server?
Never got to making one, though we have thought about it! We're a bit too busy to manage one at this point ^^;
Super duper stoked for this game!! The visual style and vibe is stunning... Take your time to polish the game and set a reasonable price for all the hard work u've put down, I will happyily pay u a lot to play this, it's gonna be a quality game for sure! :)
Also I wanted to ask what engine u used, is it done in Unity i presume?
Ah, thank you so much for your very kind words! And we're using GameMaker Studio 2, actually! ^^
Aha I see! Thank you for your reply! :)
this is so beautiful. the art is ethereal and gorgeous, i love this world
Aaa thank you! <3
i just started playing and just met konbini and he is already my fav
We're glad you like him! Though, do expect some differences in the final ><
been a fan since the 2nd demo and yet i have still forgotten to write a comment or review. damm.
anyway this game is amazing, a little sad that several of the plotlines are going to be dropped, mainly the "C runs away" one, but do what you need to do. hyped for the final game.
(sorry is this is hard to read, spanish is my first language!)
Ahh thank you so much! We hope that the mixture of new and old (but mostly new) plotlines will be worth the hype ♥ (and not at all, your english is great!)
is there a way to save progress? i cant seem to figure it out
Hello, sorry for the late response! Saving can be found in the notebook, which will appear in the top right if you hover your mouse there. We get this question a lot and will make it a lot clearer in the full version!
waaa has it really been two years since I first played through this?! I am so happy to see that the full version is coming out in june!! I can't wait to play through it and I am very excited for more of the story!!
Ahhh we're so glad to hear that, thank you!! 🥺 We hope that despite all the changes made throughout the years, the story will still be an enjoyable experience!

Hello, we're so glad you liked it! We hope to have an official Chinese translation sometime down the line following release. Thank you! ^^
when in june is it gonna release
Hi there, it's scheduled for June 15!
Helloooo! I downloaded the demo about 2 years ago now but I really just wanted to say it was extremely beautiful and already so put together. I'm excited to see the final product and hope you do more in the future
Aaa thank you so much for the kind words, we really appreciate that!💕
I played the demo version!
It was a pretty, sad, tender game all the way from start to finish!
I'm not a good English speaker, but I still finished playing it, translating as I went along, hooked!
I'm Japanese, so the fact that it's set in Japan made me very happy! It made me feel nostalgic, like the anime I watched as a child.
I am looking forward to the full version! Thank you for making this game!
Sorry , translated with DeepL
We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed it, even through translation! Naturally, we're very keen on having a Japanese version available at some point. Thank you 💗
Even if there is no Japanese version, I'll still play it!
My wallet has been preparing for this for two years! Looking forward to the official release! Can't wait><♡
And I wonder if there will be further versions in other languages? Like Chinese?
Aaa that's so kind of you, thank you so much 💕
We do plan to translate the game later on! How long it will take and how many languages we'll be able to do is still uncertain, but we'll do our best!
Looking forward to the next step! Please take care of yourself and don't be too tired.
By the way, I am currently a senior English major in China. If you need Chinese translation, I will be happy to help!<3
That sounds great! There have been other offers for help with Chinese translations, but we will keep you in mind when we've hit that step, for sure. Thank you! ^^
Truthfully, I have never played a game where the mere art style itself made me feel melancholic until I played this game in 2021
I know it's just the demo, but in an odd way, something about a simple group of outcasts figuring things out in their life hits home
There is no pressure here, but I am excited for the full release
And even if the full release won't be out (I mean hopefully not), the demo itself will forever lives in my head
Thank you and the best of luck to you Team Robo
Thank you so much for your kind words! As much as we emphasize that the full game will be very different from the demo, it still means a lot to us that it can still hold a lot of meaning to the readers here (T T) We hope the full version lives up to expectations!
Hey, I am sure it will be just as good, I'll be patiently waiting, in the meantime I'll probably read the dev logs
Very beautiful game !
Could I live stream Demo ?
(Sorry for my poor English.)
Of course, feel free! ^v^ Thank you!
Thank you !!!
What a rollercoaster that was, I had no idea what was coming next and it kept me on my toes. Can't wait to see what the final version is like, definitely looking forward to more of B's story.
Also, protect C at all cost
Ahhh thank you very much, we're so glad you enjoyed it! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) We hope the final version won't disappoint!
Will the final game take place right after the end of the demo or is it going to be a brand new experience from start to finish?
It's actually going to be nearly completely reworked, and we're planning on posting a dev log detailing all that soon. ^^
I absolutely loved this game, the art was very pleasing and soft and the characters are really pretty too! You're doing an amazing job, i'm excited for the full release!! Will the full release cost money tho?
Hello, we're so glad you've enjoyed it so far, thank you so much for your super kind words! And yes, the full release will cost around $8 US.
Thank you for letting me know!! :D
This was just a.. Beautiful game. The art was amazing and the the music and story, and everything.. Just went together so well and it really was an amazing demo and had so much meaning in just that story so far. Cannot wait for the full release, this really was such a great game and I had so much fun playing it. Good luck on the project!
Thank you so much for playing and recording your experience with the demo; we're so happy that you enjoyed it! With all the changes we've made since, we truly hope the full version will all come together as you feel the demo did ^^
Hi, I apologize for being a dummy but I kinda don't understand how Kickstarter works... am I not able to back the project after the said period ends? I would love to support the project somehow and if I'm being honest, I also wanna get my hands on the wallpapers cause I love the art style and characters so much lol.
Hello, sorry for the late reply! Yes, the Kickstarter only lasted for a short amount of time, so backing's closed and so are the rewards, but we'll see what we do in the future in terms of merch and such. We really appreciate your support!
Hello, i realy liked your game?and now I am loking forwar to its full release. Today i published an article on one of the sites, it is in Russian, but i will be glad if you rate it.
Link to my article
Wow, thank you for the article! It was great to read even through google translate, and we'll look out for any further articles you publish about the game! We're so glad you liked it and we hope you enjoy the full version as well 💕
I am glad you liked it
I love it! just wondering, sorry if i am not well read or you get asked a lot, but will the full version cost money? I totally get if it does im just a little poor haha silly but i might buy it if im feeling quirky or whatevah
also u should think abt voice actors fr the beginig story i think it would sound coooooool :0
Thank you so much! Yes, the full version will cost about 8USD? 11CAD? We'll see. Also, yes, voice actors would be amazing, but that'd be a long way away.
is there a way for you to save the game? i didnt know how to so i just left and lost all of my progress :(
Oh no, we're sorry to hear that... Yes, there's a save feature in the notebook, which becomes available at some points of the demo. We get asked this a lot, so we definitely recognize it's a problem of design that we'll certainly address!
ah thanks alot, i played the whole thing and it is so beautiful. i love all of the characters, their stories, the dialogue, the artwork and many more. keep it up! :D
MY FOOD KEEPS DISAPPEARING FROM MY BAG!! FIRST IT WAS THE BENTO THEN IT WAS MY GREAT SUCCESS RAMEN
Noooo not the Great Success Ramen! If it's any consolation, the food and money doesn't have much of a purpose in the demo, and the inventory system will probably see a big overhaul in the final version. We'll do our best to iron out these issues then. Again, sorry for the loss ;_; (and thank you for reporting!)
I can't wait to see how far this will go! This game has been great so far: plot, art, script, hooking the audience aspect- You got it all great! Sorry for the caps, I was panicking since B was at reaaally low hunger levels.
i love this game a lot !!! was super nice and calming to play, i'm glad i did :] so excited for more!! 💕
Thank you so much, we really appreciate that! ^^
I’ve been putting off playing the demo because I didn’t want the anticipation for the final game’s release to kill me. But oh my god I should have played this when I first downloaded it two years ago. What immediately drew me in was the art, the style is so whimsical and gorgeously perfect for the slice of life genre. I was then hooked by the quirky introduction to the main cast, which I immediately fell in love with and would continue to fall further in love with as the story progressed. All of the characters have their own charm, are each lovable in their own way, and feel like living breathing people. I felt myself relating to B a lot and began cheering them on as I progressed in the game. By the end of the demo, I was honestly not expecting to cry, but that last conversation with B and C really got me. This game was such an experience to play and I will wait patiently for the final game release. Amazing work, I can’t wait to see where their story ends.
Thank you so so much for your very kind words! You have no idea how much that means to us. While we've made some significant shifts in both the story-telling and art in the final release, we hope that regardless of the changes you will enjoy the full story when it's out! ♥♥♥
how to back in kickstarter
Hi there! The Kickstarter ended a while ago, but thank you so much for your interest!
amazing game! I love the visuals and the story, there are some bugs which I'm not sure if its just for me, when I got to the part where Hikaru gives you a gift, I had full inventory and so I had to toss some items, but when I clicked toss it didn't toss for me, I kept reopening the game and it was still the same, so I had to start from the beginning. Aside from that, there weren't any problems, the story is great and I will download the full release as soon as its out
Thank you so much, we're so happy you liked the demo and are willing to support the full release ❤ And we apologize about the bugs, other people have commented about separate problems before and we'll definitely make sure to iron out all the issues in the final product ^^
